Hill is set to make millions
from the offering. He owns 8% of the bank, according to the FT,
which will be valued at around £1.6 billion when the shares are
listed.

Hill is known for his attention to detail to the design of the
high-street branches. He told Business Insider last year "We
have an in-house team that go out and find sites and filter the
ones that I should see. If they would show me 10, I might approve
4 out of those 10 and maybe 2 out of those 4 would actually get
built."

A spokeswoman for Metro Bank wasn't immediately available for
comment.
